Its there to keep the S-biner from damaging the camera. That has been my main complaint about metal clips to attach straps to my cameras. I either do without a strap, or use a thin Kevlar cord (little thicker than typical thread) and a hitch in the strap lug, then attach that to a neck strap (variations are endless). There are, of course, products out there that attach via a loop like I describe. Op/Tech comes to mind. I think the Op/Tech strap has quick-release buckles just above the loop attachment so you can remove the strap anytime with little effort. In fact, I think I have one on my Nikon FE (or FE2, or maybe the FA). The strap itself is neoprene (wetsuit material) and pretty comfortable. Yeah, I know, not vintage.
